The Style Guru: Which Season Are You?
Spring trends are already hitting the stores and it will be a struggle to avoid wearing color this year.
Ever notice that you get heaps of compliments when you wear a certain color? That’s because it’s made for your complexion. You could wear this color and not need as much make up as you usually do because it makes your eyes pop and your skin look radiant.
Complexions, hair and eye colors have been divided up into ‘seasons’.
Spring complexions have golden undertones and have extremely light, ivory skin color. Spring people generally have straw-colored or strawberry red hair, freckles, rosy cheeks, and blue or green eyes.Springs look best in ivory, navy deep blues and reds. Stick to warm colors and stay away from black and white which will make you look worn out.
Avoid black and white, which you look drained. Also stay away from dark, dull colors.

Summer complexions have blue or pink undertones. Skin is pale and pink. Summers are often natural blondes or brunettes with pale eyes.Summers have a low level of contrast between their hair, eye color and skin tone.
For you to look your best, choose soft neutrals and pastels, as well as muted colors with cool undertones. Powder blue, dusty pink, mauve, lavender, plum, and pale yellow are all great color choices.
Avoid intense, vivid hues because they will look harsh and drown you out. Stay away from black and orange.

Autumn complexions have golden undertones. Many redheads and brunettes with golden brown eyes fall into this category.However, golden blonde and black hair coloring can also fall into this range.You have a lot of depth to your coloring and skin tone. Rich golden, spicy and earthy colors will accent your complexion. Therefore, look for a warm undertone when selecting a color. You can wear both muted and rich warm colors that are seen in autumn leaves and spice colors, such as camel, and dark brown. You will also look great in a rich warm grey.
Stay away from clear, bright colors and black and white, which will make your look tired and faded. Also steer clear of pastels and blue tones, which will look cold against your complexion and give you a pale appearance.
If you can’t decide weather you are an autumn or a spring, springs tend to have pale eyes while autumns have dark eyes.

Winter complexions have blue or pink undertones. Skin can be pale white, olive, or dark. Winter people are generally brunettes, with deeply colored eyes. Many Asians and African Americans fall into this category.If you’re a trying to discriminate between winter and summer, winters are usually brunettes and summers are mostly natural blondes.
Those with the winter color profile have a lot of depth to their coloring and a lot of contrast between their hair color, eye color and skin tone. Winters should wear hues that are sharp,vivid. You will look best in intense, rich colors, like black, navy blue, red, and hot pink. These powerful shades will compliment your coloring.
Avoid dressing in earthy tones and subdued colors like beige, orange and gold.
